people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333

Hello, I have never done a process thing for charcoal before and I had some time this afternoon so here’s Colin’s eye and how I drew it. Anyone who’s drawn in graphite before, I would highly recommend this because it’s more fun and I think it might be a bit easier. Oh and one more thing. I used a black and white reference photo but colour works just as well. However sometimes it’s easier to focus on the important tones if you print a colour reference off in black and white. Sorry the last pic is blurry, I lost my light!

Pet peeves in TV shows and movies:
Unfastened coats in winter
Obviously empty coffee cups
Hanging up the phone without saying goodbye
Obviously empty handbags
Leaving barely touched plates of food in a restaurant
Apartments and homes that don’t match up to income
Having a job but never being at work
Kids shows: being at school/ home and almost never studying
They NEVER GO TO THE BATHROOM FGS
The entire SW, HP sagas, no one have to go the bathroom seriously??
"I'm starving!" Then never take a bite. (Ahem, Beauty and the Beast.)
"I'm so thirsty!" Then never take a sip. (Ahem, Holes. Wasn't Zero dying of dehydration here?!)

If you haven't seen this movie yet, you need to! I saw it with my fifteen-year-old son, and we both cried and laughed through it. Fantastic!

I've shared this song before, but this version was too precious not to share!

With videos like “100 Years of Lingerie in 3 Minutes” or “100 Years of Beauty: Germany,” the Internet has been treated to gorgeous viral videos that show the glamorous side of women’s lives throughout history, but according to Polish costume blogger Karolina Zebrowska these videos are leaving out reality.
I follow Karolina on YouTube - she is both hilarious and brilliant!

Every time I read or watch Lord of the Rings I can’t help but think about how Tolkien had survived one of the bloodiest, most cruel, most dirtiest and darkest wars in human history, came back and wrote this:
“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”
And this:
"'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.
'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.'"
And this:
"I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend."
And this:
“Many that live deserve death and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be so eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the wise cannot see all ends."
And this:
“True courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one.”
And clearly they were all written partly because he survived the war, because of what he’d seen and done and learned. But at the same time the unwillingness to lose faith, the courage and strength that this man had to believe in these things after going through hell! It makes the nihilists look so cheap, so uninteresting! People who’ve went through concentration camps and wars believe in humanity anyway, isn’t that proof that hope and love exist? And many, many, many of them did not return or returned broken and cruel and traumatised to the point when no faith in others was possible for them, and nobody can blame them. But there were many who refused to lose faith and hope. They have seen some of the worst that life has to offer and came back believing that we shouldn’t be eager to deal out death in judgement and should love only that which the sword defends.
No matter how many people say that humanity is horrible and undeserving of love, and life is dark and worthless, and love doesn’t exist I remember this and have hope anyway. Because there were people who have actually had all reason to believe in the worst and still believed in the good, so the good must be real. The good is real, even despite the evil, and we must trust in it.
